cd Source/
npm install

./dockerize.sh

1. Run the built image

docker run --publish 1313:1313 --detach --mount src="$(pwd)",target=/home/docsy/app,type=bind dolittle/documentation:latest

Open your web browser and type http://localhost:1313 in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the docsy-example homepage. You can now make changes to the docsy example and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.

To stop the container, first identify the container ID with:

docker container ls

Take note of the hexadecimal string below the CONTAINER ID column, then stop the container:

docker stop [container_id]
